("Ince", the "Company" or the "Group")

Subscription for shares,

holding in Company and change to total voting rights

The Ince Group plc (AIM: INCE), which provides legal, accounting, financial services, consulting and pensions advice services, is pleased to announce that the Company has agreed a direct subscription with a corporate investor, Beckington Limited, for a total of 19,000,000 new ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 5 pence per share (the "Issue Price") (the "Subscription").

This Subscription has been undertaken by the Company as a result of investor demand and further to the subscription made on 1 September 2022 from the same corporate investor for 3,400,000 Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price. A larger investment could not be made at that time as the Company had reached the limit of its share allotment authorities, but these authorities were renewed at the Company's AGM on 30 September 2022.

The Issue Price is equal to the price at which the recent placing and open offer (announced on 28 July and 9 August 2022) were undertaken and is at a premium to the current market price. The net proceeds received from the Subscription will be applied in the same way as the net proceeds of the placing announced on 28 July 2022.

Application will be made for the 19,000,000 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and Admission is expected to take place on or around 13 October 2022. Once issued, these new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company.

Upon Admission, Beckington Limited (a subsidiary of Knox D'Arcy Investments Limited) will have a total shareholding in the Company of 26,190,000 Ordinary Shares, which will represent approximately 9.93 per cent. of the issued share capital of the Company.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company will have 263,640,570 Ordinary Shares in issue, each with one voting right. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is therefore 263,640,570.

From Admission, the above figure may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
